{Heart} my new PTI picket fence die. Am looking forward to using it in different ways- maybe with some chipboard and crackle paint? Perhaps with a muted flowery stamp on the side... Melissa Phillips (Lilibean Paperie) has used it so well in some of her projects...

Thanks Iemke for the loan of your PTI tag die. The minature rosebuds are from Scrap Box NZ and the wrinkle ribbon from Memrie Mare on Etsy.

Today is a wintery old rainy day. So Mr 4 1/2, Mr 2 and I are all inside at home for the day. Me with a bit of a cold. We have made a zoo, an awesome train track, set up a reading snuggle spot and baked scones. Now Mr 2 is napping, Ol has TV for a bit and I can enter the bloggisphere for a short while.First up 'Ol' (not 01 as the title may appear). We recently had a 'Mummy Ollie' trip and it was sooo nice having that one on one time and visiting my bro in Welly. Next time we'll have to stay longer as I have heaps of friends there to catch up with. Papers are from MME.

...and a sweet birthday card for a wee fella. Don't think I will ever tire of banners. These banner stamps are also MME from Scrap Box NZ.

Eek titles.... I struggle with them sometimes so today it's Untitled 137 {giggle}. Didn't artists in the Abstract Expressionist period name just about every other painting Untitled? That's enough rambling...

My creations have two threads. Firstly anyone that knows me and my style will know how much I {adore} pretty and vintagey with lace and trinket pins and roses...shabby chic YUMMY stuff. Here's a glassine sack that I embellished and filled with wee gift tags for my Mum for Mother's Day. If you are local I bought the glassine bags from 'Stamps Plus' in Hope, Nelson (NZ).All the tags have a wee fruit stamp on them (these accompanied the raspberry chocolate sauce and apple linen tea towel)- don't you love themed gifts LOL

Had great fun with these....

Using the same 'Paper Trey Ink' die, I made Mr Two's Birthday invites. Paper and some of the ribbons can be purchased from Scrap Box NZ.

Yes, 'boy-sie' is the second theme to my scrapping and paper crafting....

Have still been creating, just not blogging as much. Let me know what you think. What themes recur in your work? Stay tuned for some more layouts and some guest artists coming up. {Hugs}, S.
